More details to this question:
Should I go to California and look in his home for a will. Neighbor who found him deceased looked briefly but did not find a will. Neighbor told me my step brother told him he was leaving everything to me. He listed me as his next of kin on hospital and medical records. Neighbor has been watching his home since my step brother lived alone and no one is in the home now, What do I do now??

If there is no will, California law does not provide for step brothers. Go look for it! You are not responsible for handling his estate, but if you are named as an executor in his will, you can take responsibility.
